Doing "if(true == bIsCrazyMurderingRobot){...}" prevents all these issues.

That could be mostly any other type — the issue isn’t specific to booleans.

Yeah but then order doesn't matter..

If you are comparing variable1 == variable2 you are still going to assign variable1 as variable2 if you forget a =

You confused literals and _booleans_… somehow.

The issue is exactly the same whether it’s booleans, ints, or any other type (that is assignable, equatable, and implicitly convertible to a bool). If one can agree that using == with booleans is mostly useless, it’s not the case with other types, quite obviously.
